Breathtaking... These are fish gills!

Reminds me of something that you'd find on a #coralreef... Sea pens?
Can't believe it — my first‑author paper is out and my image graces the cover of @dev-journal.bsky.social 🎉

Here, we reveal how early developmental programs shape and maintain #zebrafish gill architecture throughout life

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... late post! Parts of my PhD thesis are now in a preprint. Just imagine if each cell of your organs decides to undergo some extra divisions while being formed, how would they look and what prevents that from happening? This is exactly what I have shown in my work.
Vgll4 Proteins limit Organ Size in Zebrafish through Yap1-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms
Precise control of organ size is crucial during development and homeostasis. Dysregulation of the underlying mechanisms can result in organ malformation and tumorigenesis. Although the Hippo signaling...

FINALLY out in #Science Advances! 🎉
3 years of hard work, a fantastic team — and I’m proud to be first and co-corresponding author!

It's about Plexin signaling driving collective cell migration & organ sculpting. Check out the videos 😀

If you’ve ever wondered how those intricate gill structures emerge—and how gills develop throughout a zebrafish’s lifespan—check out my new preprint!
We dive into the development of gills and their vasculature in detail.
Huge thanks to @vlecaudey.bsky.social for the support🐟

“We propose a model in which Yap1, together with Tead proteins, ensures that the [posterior lateral line primordium] contains a sufficient number of cells before migration begins.”
